Re: Buffer size limitation in insdel.c

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

Ok, I think I've found a way to zoom in on this specific problem pretty
easily.  If we only concern ourselves with conversion from EMACS_INT to
int, then the following compile command gives us that:

make -k 2>&1 | egrep 'conversion.*int.*(Lisp_Ob|long)'

Here's an example from fns.c, with 131 hits for this error, and
eyeballing them, they mostly seem like valid errors.

make -k 2>&1 | egrep 'conversion.*int.*(Lisp_Ob|long)'
